And I was waiting for replies on your suggestion, as I had concerns
about that '#'.

Paolo suggested ...-count on #qemu, but I would prefer ...-max or so, as
the number could differ when some property gets deleted.

On the other hand, since this is not a user-added property, using a
reserved character such as '#' would avoid clashes with user-added
properties, as long as tools handle accessing that property okay.

Andreas
